    Summary

    “How about I give you a massage?”

    Those ocean blue eyes suddenly lit up like a floatglow lamp, and Olruggio’s revelation barely registered in Qifrey’s head.

    “I beg your pardon?”

    “You heard me,” Olruggio gave Qifrey a blank look, “I can give you a massage. Y’know, like you sometimes do for me when I just finished a deadline. We should still have some of that massage oil.”

    Or, Qifrey got body pains from doing housework, and Olruggio offered to give him a massage, but things didn't go as either of them expected.

    Summary

    Olruggio finds him late at night in the middle of a rain storm, perched on the atelier's roof with his hands gripping the sides of his head. There is no rainflinger spell to protect him from getting wet. There is no solid reason Olruggio can come up with for why in the world Qifrey would even be awake at this hour, let alone outside and in the rain.

    It had been a last ditch effort to even look outside for him. He hadn't been in his usual hiding spots. Not expecting to be right, Olruggio had thought to look outside and, if he wasn't there... well, Qifrey's a grown adult. He can do what he wants. A note would have been great to have, though.

    But he did end up finding him. And the relief he felt at that was immediately clouded by worry. Because there was no reason for Qifrey to be out here, not at this hour and not in this weather. Did something happen? But then why didn't he just come find Olruggio and tell him about it? He can do that now. It won't kill him to do that anymore.

    Summary

    Qifrey hated rainy days, and it wasn't just because he despised water. It was the migraines that always came to vex him every rainstorm. The terrible, pounding, and unbearable migraines, and they had seemingly gotten worse ever since he fell pregnant. For once in his life he decided he was going to take some time to rest today, but unfortunately, his apprentices had other plans.

    Seems like it's up to a certain watchful eye to make sure Qifrey gets the rest he deserves!
